Lionfish small problems

Maybe its just me but when I look at the lionfish carefully, it as it turns the supposedly see-through fin occasionally turns blue... Otherwise its great

Yes, that's the trouble with a single-mesh object which can bend - what's in front of what? Transparent layers are drawn over other layers to show whatever is underneath, but as the fins fold over themselves it becoms a paradox - A is in front of B, which is in front of C, which is in front of A.

I think I have a way of getting around this when I switch to the new fish models.

I'm just concentrating on fixing bugs right now. The new fish models and other additions will be coming after the Beta Test period.

Jim, will the 'crystal' be added before it's out of beta?
Hope so...
